Bountiful. That’s the best way to describe today’s headphone market. Whether you’re looking for in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, exercise-focused, or Bluetooth cans, you'll find a truly overwhelming number of options worth buying. Yes, there are plenty clunkers to go alongside them, but with a cursory bit of research, it isn’t hard to find a pair that’ll suit your tastes.

The best part? You don’t have to spend too much to get one. Sound and build quality will always improve the higher you climb the ladder, but, especially if you’re not (yet) an avowed audiophile, there are plenty of steals that go for less than triple digits. So, after spending the last year testing more headphones than any reasonable group should, we've rounded up a few of our affordable favorites. See what you like, and put those EarPods to bed.
